Chapter 34: The Test Begins

readx;? In just a few moments, the group came to the Xiaoli Mountain Office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It looks inconspicuous from a distance, but when you get closer, you will find that it is a spectacular place to live.

From the foot of the mountain to the summit of the mountain, more than 300 zhang of the mountain, there are rows of buildings. In the staggered layout, it is clearly divided into several areas with different functions, and a large number of people in gray uniforms can be vaguely seen walking around.

A building complex of this scale is far from being comparable to an ordinary family, and it can even be said to be an independent town.

At the foot of the hill is an open square. The square has a radius of more than 200 zhang, which is even wider than the border military academy field that Lin Zheng had seen before. The dark red stone bricks on the ground were the same as the road they had just walked, only smoother and wider.

Before everyone arrived, there were already more than a dozen teenagers standing in the square, both men and women, and they were also miscellaneous servants in the military office. However, the gray uniform, which looked a little rustic to others, had been changed to a rather pleasing style by them.

The momentum of this group of teenagers is also different from the gray-clothed handymen occasionally encountered on the road just now. There is a more obvious martial aura on them, and everyone's face has a pride that ordinary people don't have.

Thinking of the conversation between Wang Meng and Bao Ying just now, everyone vaguely guessed that these people might also have similar identities to them, but they were one step earlier than everyone in Qingzhou. It's just strange that since they have already entered the sect, why do they seem to be waiting here at this moment.

Seeing Bao Ying bringing people over, the crowd slowly stepped forward.

The relationship between them and Bao Ying seems to be a little delicate, although they also greeted each other, but their attitudes are a little too casual. After greeting each other, they did not leave immediately, but watched from a distance of a few feet from everyone.

Bao Ying did not explain their identities, but led the group to a corner of the square.

This is a little different from the rest of the square, the stone bricks on the ground have become blue-black, and in the center of this blue-black stone brick, there are four stone tripods of slightly different sizes.

The smallest of Shi Ding is more than half a person tall, and the big one is more than a zhang. These stone tripods are extremely coarsely polished, more like rough embryos that have not been processed.

As soon as he arrived near the corner, Lin Zheng felt that the vitality of heaven and earth here was very strange, not to mention the vitality in the entire space, and there was a depressing silence.

"Today's test is very simple, the first step is to measure your physical strength. You should have seen the difference here, the stone bricks on the ground are all made of Fengyuan stone, which can not only shield the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, but also bind the internal Qi in your body. These four stone tripods are also of the same material, and the smallest weighs 500 catties. Each of the others is twice as heavy, and you just have to lift as much weight as you can handle. Bao Ying pointed to the four stone tripods and said.

I don't know if it's because of the relationship between the people who have arrived at the military office, or if the performance of Lin Zheng and Yao Cai just now made him a little jealous. Now. Bao Ying's attitude has improved a lot.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you that after sealing the internal qi, the strength of the body may decrease to a certain extent. Therefore, when choosing Shiding, you must do what you can, otherwise you will be injured and affect the subsequent tests, and you will not be blamed on others. ”

After listening to Bao Ying's explanation, everyone was surprised by the efficacy of the Feng Yuan Stone, but at the same time, they were more curious.

They didn't know that when this Sealing Yuan Stone was first discovered in Chixiao Pavilion, it was used as a material for refining star arrays and defenses because of its ability to isolate Yuan Qi.

However, it was later discovered that while sealing the Yuan Stone to limit the enemy's vitality, it also made the sect disciples lose the way to use their internal qi.

This is equivalent to directly lowering the combat power of innate martial artists to a level similar to that of ordinary martial artists. This practice is tantamount to cutting off one's own arms. So up to now, in addition to measuring the physical strength of the beginner disciples, only a few places are still using the Feng Yuan Stone.

The teenagers looked at each other, waiting for the first person to try.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd who had been watching outside, apparently disdainful of everyone's hesitation. The whispers nearby made Bao Ying a little impatient, and she pointed to one casually.

Although Bao Ying said that this test was extremely serious just now, in fact, he didn't necessarily attach much importance to this matter in his heart. After all, these teenagers were different from the previous situation, they were all at least martial artists who had mastered internal qi.

After everyone has completed half a year of miscellaneous work, before becoming a disciple, they will have to go through a more rigorous evaluation and a promotion assessment that must be passed to enter the sect.

Of course, this test is not overdone. On the one hand, it allows the sect to know the basic level of the disciples who are about to enter one step in advance, so that the sects can prepare for each other. On the other hand, it can also prevent the teenager from entering the sect too early, and it is difficult to adapt to the slightly cruel battle list system of Chixiao Pavilion.

During the half-year miscellaneous life in the service center, each sect would have a more detailed understanding of the gifted disciples, and know their mental character in order to make a choice. At the same time, disciples who are about to enter can also better understand the rules and systems of Chixiao Pavilion and understand the differences between the various sects.

Suffice it to say, this is a great opportunity for a two-way street.

However, in Bao Ying's view, this system seems to be more mainly to avoid conflicts between various sects and for the sake of talented disciples, which will once again cause irreparable things.

Although the four sects of Chixiao Pavilion are a whole, there is still obvious competition between them. And with the opening of the stargate, this trend is intensifying.

And it is precisely because of the deterioration of the relationship between them due to the selection of disciples in the past that Chixiao Pavilion introduced this kind of service system.

Of course, judging from Bao Ying's identity as a person who has come over, the benefits of half a year in the service center still outweigh the disadvantages for most people. Although the name of the miscellaneous servant is not very good, in terms of treatment, it is actually not much worse than that of the outer disciples. And with the half-year protection period of combat power points, they also have more opportunities to choose a good force to take refuge in.

This is a very rare opportunity for most ordinary disciples who are not valued by the sect when they come.

As the old saying goes, it's good to have your back against a big tree.

After all, once you really get started, you will face the cruel competition between each other, and if you are slower than others, you will be limited step by step.

This is also the reason why Bao Ying resolutely chose to become the manager of the military office, in addition to reducing the number of battles, because of the identity of the manager, all forces will not oppress him too much. On the contrary, if he finds a disciple with excellent qualifications, he may also receive a certain reward.

The young man who was ordered by Bao Ying, although he was unhappy in his heart, could only grit his teeth. As soon as he stepped on the ground laid by Feng Yuanshi, his face changed.

Reluctantly came to the front of Feng Yuanding, he looked at it for a while, and under Bao Ying's urging, he finally made up his mind to prepare to raise the Ding. But I don't know if it's because I'm not prepared and can't adapt to the physical condition of losing internal qi. was still too nervous, and for the first time, he didn't even lift the five-hundred-pound stone tripod.

Among the ordinary martial artists who have entered the ranks of martial artists, there may be people who will not be able to lift a five-hundred-pound stone tripod under the condition of sealing the internal qi. But it definitely does not include the young men who were found by the disciples of Chixiao Pavilion this time, after all, they are all martial artists who have opened the star vein.

Even if it is the worst star vein, the bonus to strength is enough to meet the minimum requirements of Shi Ding.

The young man's panicked behavior immediately caused a burst of laughter from other onlookers.

Hearing the laughter, people like Yao Cai and Zhou Caiyun, who were a little impatient, immediately turned their heads and glared at each other. However, it is clear that others do not care about their attitudes either.

After trying several times in a row, the young man finally reluctantly lifted the stone tripod. It's just that the crumbling appearance makes the laughter outside the venue even more presumptuous.

In Chixiao Pavilion, without strength, he can only be the object of ridicule.
